Hulsanpes

Osmolska 1982

Hulsanpes is a genus of halszkaraptorine theropod dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now the Barun Goyot Formation of Mongolia, about 75-72 million years ago. The remains were found in 1970 and formally described in 1982 by Halszka Osmólska, who noted that the genus is represented by an immature individual. Hulsanpes represents the first record of the basal dromaeosaurid subfamily Halszkaraptorinae.

Skeletal composite of the recently reclassified halszkaraptorine dinosaurs Hulsanpes perlei, featuring the holotype specimen ZPAL MgD-I/173 which is an immature individual. It was found in the Barun Goyot Formation of Mongolia in 1970 and described in 1982 by Halszka Osmólska. The genus was first classified as a dromaeosaurid taxon with unresolved affinities,[1] but in 2017 with the description of the peculiar genus Halszkaraptor, the Halszkaraptorinae was coined and Hulsanpes identified as a member. The holotype consist of a right metatarsus composed by II, III and IV metatarsals with three phalanges, and a partial right braincase fragment.[2] © PaleoNeolitic · CC BY 4.0 · Wikimedia
